Authentication

Identifying each unique viewer is a critical part of managing rights and authorizing
playback. The Ooyala Player Token makes integration easy with a publisher’s subscriber
management system. For broadcasters in the US, Adobe Pass can
also provide specific authentication for TV Everywhere viewing. To authenticate users for Ooyala APIs such as Watchlist and eCommerce, Ooyala Account Token programmatically creates an Ooyala Account Token.

Ooyala Account Token API
Access to certain Ooyala services, such as eCommerce and Watchlist, is controlled using an Ooyala Account Token. The Ooyala Account Token API generates an account token to authenticate a user. When calling these APIs, the client is required to provide the account token for authentication. After your application has logged in a user, it calls the Ooyala Account Token API route to get the account token. The account token is valid for a specific amount of time, 15 minutes by default.
